I’m not an expert but she’s gorgeous either way

I had a floof named Alice. She was the best. A Turkish van breed, I think, which is what yours looks like. SO SOFT. I miss her. :(

It is a true joy in life to sit back and enjoy a duck butt when you’re sitting by a lake and one does that little flip-dunk.

FUCK SPEZ

Fuck Spez!

I disagree. The persons making AI are definitely tools.

Unless I misunderstood the statement.

Very interesting and reasonably priced! Thanks!

Can someone just start a damn privacy-first email coop already?

Sharing CBS News articles isn’t helping.

100%. There’s not even anything that great about them. There’s no world in which a person is forced to own a Tesla.

Why is it okay to hype products made by actual, literal Nazis? What the fuck is wrong with us?

“Can’t trust anyone these days” makes it sound like Meta isn’t the absolute first entity you shouldn’t trust under any circumstances.

In case people care, the maker of Boox devices flagrantly violates GPL license terms, basically stealing and profiting from open source code.

Edit: thread with details

Love my Supernote. One of the objects in my life that as soon as it breaks, I’m immediately buying a new one (or in the case of the newest model, replacement parts).

Spies on you

The agreement is only as good as the hospital’s vetting, so I may be a little optimistic after seeing a very thorough and protracted process on my side. If you work for a healthcare system that’s okay with Beacon and Oracle, then it may be time to evaluate whether they’re a good healthcare system to work for.

Medical AI has guardrails out the wazoo. By the time it’s made available to a physician, it’s probably been reviewed by a council, vetted by IT, and negotiated heavily by Legal. If the data leaves the premises, it’ll be thoroughly protected and isolated.

That said, fuck AI. I’d give up medical transcription to get the environment, economy, and sanity back. Musk’s data center is running dozens of natural gas turbines in a low-income, primarily Black neighborhood 11 miles down the road from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It’s positively ghoulish.

Somebody once tried to sell a box that would cancel all your streaming services and only fire the account back up for a month at a time when you wanted to stream something. It was a phenomenal idea with a genuine problem worth solving, completely torpedoed by the fact of the box costing $400 up front and I think requiring its own subscription.

I used one a million years ago when I was a teenager and I hated it because it legit sounded like a lawnmower. Are they still so insanely loud?
